Its a broadcast monitor

In the early days (50's) GE was #2 in the broadcast equipment field. They also made cameras and transmitters. Dumont was #3. One reason was the financing available at the time. RCA did their own financing. All you had to have was a license and they took care of the rest. The GE big ticket items (transmitters) were designed strangely. They were water cooled and RCA's were air cooled. The GE transmitters had red buttons for on air and green buttons for off air. Harris bought out the GE broadcast interests around '78 or so.
